You do the math. Or pay a website to do it.
你可以自己解題,或付費讓網站幫你

哇! 竟然可以公開付錢請人代勞作業? 不知發生在 Duke’s B-school 的 scandal
是否也類似這樣?
PARIS, Reuters — "You can't do it? We're here to help," says the homepage of a
new French website where children can pay for older students to do homework for them. 在這個網站,孩子可以付費讓較年長的學生幫作功課.
On domyhomework.com, children will be able to buy answers to simple maths problems for 5 euros, while a full end-of-year presentation complete with slides and speaking notes will cost 80 euros. 在 domyhomework.com 裡,孩子們可以5歐元買到簡單數學
題的解答,然而一份完整、附有投影片以及演講筆記的期末報告則需80歐元.
The website goes live Thursday morning, founder Stephane Boukris told Reuters.
"I realized there was a gap in the market. Add to that a dose of insolence, a zest of arrogance and the internet, and you have faismesdevoirs.com," he said.
“我發現市場裡的斷層,再加上厚臉皮、自負和網路,幫我作功課.com 就誕生了.”
School teachers reacted with outrage. 學校老師當然是憤怒以對.
"It is shocking. It defeats the purpose of education which is that the pupils need to learn for themselves how to do the work," said Agathe Field, a young English teacher at a secondary school in a suburb of Paris . 一位年輕教師說:「真令人震驚!這個網站粉碎了學生必須獨立學習如何作功課的教育目的了.」
"It turns them into consumers. The message is that for the right price you can get the results you want. It's nonsense," she said. “這讓學生變成了消費者也就是散發只要是對的價錢就可以得到你想要的結果的訊息.這簡直是胡鬧.”
Boukris defended the website, saying that the schoolchildren would still learn something if they bought homework from the site because it would come with annotations from the students explaining how they got to the final result.
"We're not just giving them the fish, we're teaching them how to fish," Boukris said in a telephone interview. 網站創辦人則辯解說我們不是只給他們魚,我們還教他們如何捕魚.
"Of course some schoolchildren might use the system to cheat, but they'll have to learn sooner or later because we won't be there on exam day," he said.
“當然有些學童可能利用這些制度來作弊,但他們遲早會學到,因為考試的時候我們並不會在現場.”
After reading: Although technology brings mankind convenience, it also causes the degeneration of certain human abilities. With just a click of the mouse, you can get almost everything. But because many people use the Internet, some unscrupulous people will commit crimes online. Therefore, it’s essential to pay attention to online safety so that you won’t become a victim of Internet scams. So spending 5 euros to get an academic paper or the rest of your life behind the bar, which one is more profitable, YOU DO THE MATH!
